Whether you’re walking or driving, there are signs with names you recognize and places you really want to see. I followed them and found where I wanted to go. Here are some of those places.
Highway signs around Florence.
Which way to Rialto?
Pay attention to these signs:
Now here’s a sign I think I’ll follow!

Hmm, I think I’d better stay home. When I was in Germany I was totally lost in the train station because stupid me forgot that I can’t read anything but English.

I noticed that many of the signs were in several languages (including English). But I was usually in big cities that get lots of visitors. And you live in a beautiful place so you can have fun and adventures at home :)

It’s true, I can’t stop eating gelato when I’m in Italy! But I’m pretty sure there’s still some left (at least for now)…

Well, I better get a move on and get planning my Gelato holiday. Photos are great…doors are a very interesting subject. They each seem to have a story and the imagination can go anywhere. Love it.

I like that the food sign is WAY MORE instructive and useful than those silly old road signs :) LOL!!

You’re right, and it also shows how much Italian we actually know when it comes to food words!

I think I would follow that one too! Signs as really reassuring if you feel you might be going the wrong way and you come across one saying you are on the right road. Nice collection of signs with lots of variations.

I really liked the pedestrian signs because I didn’t want to do a lot of walking only to find I’d been going in the wrong direction. And you’re right – the signs are very reassuring!

That’s a great idea to take pictures of signs while traveling since that can help when trying to figure out where you were at the time. I probably don’t take enough pictures of signs since I’m always getting lost. They’re especially fun when they’re in Italian and when they advertize gelato. :)

I actually did take pictures of signs when I was walking in Italy to keep from getting lost – and it helped! But some of my favorite signs are for food, too :)

I agree Meg, that last sign would be my beacon after all the pit stops, road signs and lost directions for me! My sister just returned from Turkey, Greece, Rome & London. Of them all, Rome was her ultimate favourite! :)

Rome is a fantastic place! And it was most welcome to see a food sign after all the walking, that’s for sure :)

For me “parcheggio” was probably the most important one on my last Italy trip. It’s amazing how many more signs you notice when you’re driving.

That’s a very important sign when you’re driving! And it seemed like the signs were good on the highway. You need to have adequate time to find the off ramp to your destination!

I’ll have a chocolatini gelato, por favore! ;) I love your signs! I only took a couple when I was there 11 years ago. I love signs. I have a sign board on Pinterest! My husband and I will be looking for some of those names, stacked on top of each other….Siena, etc! ;) Thanks for the head’s up!
